Summary of Changes
Important
OneDrive Client for Linux v2.5.x contains a database schema change to support the additional functionality and bug fixes in the v2.5.x branch. As such, on your first use of any v2.5.x client version, the database schema will be updated and the client will perform an entire re-validation of your data - both locally and online which may take an extended period of time.
Caution
OneDrive Client for Linux v2.5.x introduces significant changes and is not backwards compatible with v2.4.x. Please ensure that you do not use both v2.5.x and v2.4.x clients with the same Microsoft OneDrive account simultaneously - whether on the same or different systems. If you upgrade to v2.5.x, all your clients must be updated to this version. However, you can revert to v2.4.x at any time if necessary, but do not run different versions at the same time on any system.
Caution
The application has been completely re-written in version 2.5.x, leading to changes in how many features and functions operate compared to version 2.4.x. OneDrive Business Shared Folder Sync is one of the features that has been fully revamped. If you are using this feature, it is crucial to read the updated documentation thoroughly.
Additionally, when using the --download-only function, this no longer automatically deletes local files by default. Please ensure you review the new documentation carefully to understand how all application options now operate as there may be both major and subtle changes to the options that you currently utilise.
